    The Classical Period of children's literature from 500 BCE to 400 CE was characterized by oral storytelling of Greek and Roman myths and epics that children enjoyed alongside their parents. Fables emerged during this time through Aesop, a legendary Greek fabulist. The power of these ancient stories remains influential today as modern writers frequently retell Greek and Roman myths. During the Middle Ages from 476 AD to 1453 CE, literature was based on teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as it was the dominant institution responsible for education. Religious and biblical stories as well as secular tales were popular forms that aimed to set examples for children in a didactic manner.
